As a percentage of gross domestic product, Canada’s $686 billion in COVID-19 response spending was more than twice all but two other G-20 countries.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s speech at the party’s policy convention was an opportunity to attract Canadians wanting change. Unfortunately, as John Ivison has reported, following the speech six in 10 Canadian voters remain politically homeless.
